Pay Once & Play category added to Apple App Store

In its ongoing quest for complete transparency about in-app purchases, Apple has added the new Pay Once & Play category to the App Store.

Styled like one of the marketplace’s regular promotions, the section recommends premium mobile games that do not contain any form of microtransaction.

Examples included include mobile versions of Minecraft, XCOM: Enemy Within, CounterSpy, Goat Simulator, as well as original iOS games such as Threes!, The Sailor’s Dream, Leo’s Fortune and Oceanhorn.
